  The shunning begins

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  check out my mother in laws new thinking...already the jws have firmly replaced her ability to think for herself:.

  "dear d"i just got your note today, since i was out of commission for a week or more.i wasn't "waiting to tell you," nor was i going to" jump back into shunning d." i just didn't think this was going to be happy news, and judging from your choice of words in this note, i was right!

  i have been going to meetings for a couple of months and have expressed a desire to be reinstated.

  How does the WTS define "former member"

  by Cappuccino OC in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wts claims on their web site that they do not shun "former members".

  it would be interesting to know exactly how they define "former members".

  does anybody else sense that the wts is playing with the lexicon, meaning, of words.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noted in an earlier post that scans of the current km's are available online and took a peek.

  i did notice however that it was the "british version"....being a yank i'm just curious if there is a real difference between the us and uk versions ?.

  i have been busy for the past few weeks and finally got around to reading the thread containing bill bowen's latest letter to the governing body.

  apparently the gb just locked the gates and ignored them.

  correct me if i'm wrong, i haven't dug through all the posts... .

  Think they caught me - elder at my door

  by Lady Lee in

  i just knew when the doorbell rang that it had to be the witnesses.

  but they come here so rarely.

  the thought ran through my head that they knew about my little trip to the hall last night.

  former jw..new on the board and glad to see it so active.

  the latest round of "new light" in the recent km has reversed the rules and once again my family has been told to shun me.

  i da'd in my early 20's after being very active since childhood and have been out of the "borg" now for nearly 18 years.. i look forward to reading and posting as i get more familiar with the names here.. rgw.
